Malwarebytes does have a free version which has some limitations. The paid version is only $30 CA / year. https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/ There are other antimalware programs out there that are free, have not used many personally to have a 1st hand opinion on them. I use the above premium version myself and have been happy with it. Mule and loaderXI 2 Awards

Its one of the best I have came across , it warns you when a program is even looking for access to your hardrive in a certain location and you have the option to alllow or deny that program from gaining access to your hardrive. Every program you run it asks you do you want let the program have internet access. I would run that along side a free anti virus and you should be grand. After a few months of using the free firewall I got an email of Zone alarm with a promotion offer called "back 2 school offer" haha. Anyway they offered me a 3 user licence of professional anti virus and professional firewall for $8 reduced from $70....I couldnt say no to that haha Mule and EDD THE DUCK 2 Awards

Adblock+ and Firefox is a MUST.85% +/- of all maleware,spyware and other bugs will be blocked by a simple ad block adon.The others can be taken care of by simply watching what sites you go to. On a side note.I've gotten a couple of nasty viruses in the past that infected Microsoft security essentials.Seemed that Microsoft security essentials it's self was vulnerable to java based attacks.This was a couple years ago I have no idea if it still applies. Malwarebytes is good $24.95 for 3 computers for 1 year.My uncle bought it and he is a serious p0rn junkie.I've had to reinstall his computer atleast once every month or 2 for years.Since he's been using Malwarebytes I've yet to have to reinstall his PC because of bugs.Seriously it's pretty damn good.He's running the full Malwarebytes Premium Security Suite.It has a gaming mode to that partly disables some features in the scanner temperately while gaming.Pretty cool feature. AVG was good a few years back but now MSE is better and Malwarebytes is better yet.DO NOT actively run more than 1 scanner at once.You will run into trouble with 1 blocking the other ones detection abilities.As it will see it as some sort of spyware and block the action.
